As the UK backs into another lockdown scenario, we've been asked to work from home again. Are there opportunities to be found in changing our work patterns en masse? 

It's slow going, but the conversation around shared parenting and the stereotypical two weeks off then back to work for dad is evolving in recent years. 

And the potential is clear - family cohesion, workplace equality, mental health, children's access to loving parents.

This week we meet Ian Dinwiddy - who mentors stressed fathers toward a greater work / life balance through his company Inspiring Dads. Ian 

Under discussion: expectations for fathers; dads providing (and indeed receiving) emotional care; shared parental leave; how to balance your own life - and of course the pandemic situation.

Find Ian at inspringdads.co.uk and through his own podcast Lockdown Dads.
